3818919/w – 702 {mtk004}

Artist: 3818919/w
Title:
702
Label:
Monotonik
Catalog #:
mtk004
Release Date:
1999/04/03


Something distinctly different, this mp3 release is from the English artist 3818919/w, of which little can be revealed – other than the fact he works in computer games as a graphics artist and is also responsible for the rather cool mp3-cover to this release, which you can see above.

This track was done with a cacophony of cantankerous old analogue synths and drum machines and is distinctly influenced by a number of Warp and Rephlex artists. But we like to think the beguiling melodies and intriguing percussion bring a markedly different approach to the whole idm conundrum – if, indeed, it should be called idm. Listen to the fluttering synths and the layers upon layers and the little flourishes and enjoy..

Prob+Ebb+Tek+Substance – Benedict (Stylez Remix) {REL#164}

Artist: Prob+Ebb+Tek+Substance
Title:
Benedict (Stylez Remix)
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
REL#164
Release Date:
1999/04/02


More rewording and reordering as Substance takes elements from two previous releases (Tek’s mp3 “Benedict” and Prob+Ebb’s “Stylez”) and merges and melds to come up with this mellifluous hybrid. It’s fun to play with sounds, isn’t it? Watch out for a simultaneous/near-simultaneous Malik remix of “Stylez” on Theralite (http://pigforce.warande.net/theralite), incidentally.. mmm, synchronicity can be so constructive, hm?

Hoffman – Deep Impact {mtk003}

Artist: Hoffman
Title:
Deep Impact
Label:
Monotonik
Catalog #:
mtk003
Release Date:
1999/03/29


We return once more to the Monotonik fold with the mp3 debut from Hoffman, who’s currently DJ-ing a number of techno nights in the SouthWest of England, and shows he still has the goods on the composition side, too, with this great piece of phasing minimal techno. We were initially thinking this didn’t fit in with Monotonik-style, majestic though it is – but then we realised, of course it fits – Hoffman’s a massive part of Mono (he had the first ever release, for one), and Monotonik’s aim is simply to kick it with the electronic beatz – “Deep Impact” does that with ease.

Comparisons? We’re not so well-versed in that particular area, but the muffled-to-sharp funkiness of the bassdrum and hihats and the almost acid tube-bass make it sound a bit like a deeper, nastier Daft Punk, don’t you think?
